Parking violations
Cars are towed away
The Campus Police began
Monday towing away cars parked
illegally on campus lots and
reaped an immediate whirlwind
of compaints.
As has been the practice in the
past, the police are still issuing
warnings to first offenders.
The printed notifications state:
"You are not authorized to park
.... your vehicle in this location.
Should this vehicle be parked in
this location again, it will be
towed away at your expense."
"We have been lenient in the
past," said John Velier, security
director, "but the students have
taken advantage of this."
By 2 p.m. Monnay, 13 cars had
been towed.
"DURING THE DAY, several
indignant students stormed in and
out of this office and made pro­fane
remarks to my secretary,"
Velier said. "'Ve can't have
people running in and out of this
office acting the way they do,
l! this keeps up, these people will
find themselves Sitting in the stu­dent
Personnel Office for disci­plinary
action."
One student began to argue
with Velier that there was no
sign' near the lot she parked in.
Leaving his office, she slammed
the door behind her. Later her
boyfriend approached Velier and
complained that she had been
mistreated.
The problem of stolen parking
signs has often faced the campus
police this year. Subsequently,
seeing ' no sign, park in the lots
reserved tor faculty. Also, many
students have been told by other
students that they could park in
the lots.
Velier stressed that the new
parking lot at the corner of
Laurel ·and Main streets is now
open to students, and that stu­dents
may no longer park in on­campus
lots.
peared in prjnt about the auto·
mobile and drug industries, de­secration
and planned obsoles­cence.
This is a subject on which
Packard tries to explain that we
are becoming the victims of "the
waste makers," a phrase he has
made famous and what we can
. do about it.
Another of his pet subjects, is
the invasion of privacy. He
speaks of personal surveillance
,by·· the professional "people­watchers"
who inspect, control,
and keep an eye on individual
citizens. A question he discusses
is how personal liberty can be
sustained in an age when the Bill
of Rights itself is under seige.
HE DISCUSSES in his lectures
the rootlessness of this nation's
"go-go" SOCiety, the changing
American character arid moral­ity
in this era' of upheaval.
Packard says Americans are
in what he terms "the most vio­lent
revolution in~ the American
. way of life to occur in the na­tion's
history."

Slater later explained that the
term "advanced registration"
does not mean "pre-registra ...
